from tho '
Coast brings iutolligenco of tho '
capture of Frank Butler, tho Aus-
. .. , ,. , . ,
traliau murderer, which was effect
ed on board tho Swunhilda outsido
the harbor of San Francisco on
tho morning tho Gaelic sailed. Ab
soon as tho vessel was Big h tod at 5

tivos boarded the revenuo cutter

charaoter of one nf thoir crow.
Tho only details of tho arrest
obtainable are from a morning
extra of The Evoning Post, pub
lished just beforo the Gaelio Bailed
and thoy are given bolow:
The Swanhilda was sighted at
about 5 o'clock this morning by
the Merchants' Exchange lookout
and tho news was at onco telo-
' graphed to this city.
The police force at the seawall
was immodiatoly communicated
J with, and tho Government boat
that has been so long patiently
I waiting at once put out for tho
huadp.
nine awanuilda wasinet some
milps out.
Tho officers boarded the vossol
according to tho arranged pro
gram, and it was found that
Butler was aboard.
He was soon Dlaced under ar
I rest and was safely brought to
lodged in tho City
pr:Brm '
When tho Government vessel
reached tho Swanhilda Officer For;
gusou was tho first to board it.
Then followed Sergeant Bunuer
and tho other officers.
Captain Frazur was called aside
and told of the character of the
man he had uboard. Frazer said
he was aware of it. Himsolf and
tho first mate knew that tho mur
derer was aboard. They had been
told by a pulsing sjiip. '
Tho crew of the Swanhilda was I
then lined up on tho deck, and
liutlor, who was second in tho
row, was identified by tho Austra-1
linn constable, Conroy, quietly, of i
course.
Detectives Silvoy and Egan sly
ly went behind him ami at an
agreed signal caught his arms.
At the Bame iustaut Sergeant
Bunner's pistol wont up into
Butlor's face, and tho words
"Throw up your hands!" told the
murderer that Justice had trailed
him across the Pacific. I
The irous were quickly put on
his hands and he sauk to tho
deck.
Ho was taken to the cabin aad
questioned, but refused to talk.
He was asked if he kuow a cer
tain man, one of his victims. Ho
replied with a sneer and nn oath,
"Oh! I know lots of people."
Ho was cool and "nervy," He
has lost about fifty pounds weight
on the voyage, so tho detectives,
say.
At tho City Prison Butlor gavo
his name as Eagan.
Damaging ovidonco was found
in his possession. In his trunk
was! a portrait of Mrs. Wollor,
wife of the murdered Captain.
On January 27 another Aus
tralian detective arrived in San
Francisco, with the noeossary ap-
i plication from tho British Gov-
, nrnmont tnr
I rrjhis man was Johu Roche, who
extradition papers
; j,H9 j,een connected with the
Svdnov Detective Offico for tho
. . r .
ast fifteen yoars and is reput.n to
bo one of tho best known deteo-
lives in Australia. Ho was tho
ohief in tho senrch for Butlor in
the colonips. It was principally
through His efforts that sovoral
mysterious murders woro traced
to a common source; that a photo
graph was obtained of tho sus
pected but littlo known man
whom, it .was fiunlly learned, had
shipped from NtUvcastlo, N. 8. W.,
on November 23 in ,yi Swanhilda
bound for San Francisco.
He came to San Fraucisco di
rect from Washington. He Was
agreeably surprised to find Deteo

tho murderer buck, for Uh-ho men I
had not left Australia until two
days after his departure tliouuh
thoy had reached hcru very much
earlior because of having como by
a mqro diroct routo.
According to llocho uino or ten
murders are now attributed to
Butler, and there aro possibilities
of others boiug discovered. Ab a
tako mining expert, luring men
with money to inspect his niythi
cal mines, Butlnr couductod a

November 14, On November 2J
ho sailed away in tho Swanhilda.
It was afterward that his vil
lainy became partly known to tho
polico, and little by littlo his
monstrous character has boon ex
posod. Who Butler is, whence he camo
and what are his connections, aro
yet unknown. Even his right
uamo is a mystery, for ho has as
sumed several names.

ho shipped for tho west coast of
America and was then v'called by
his shipmates "Jock," though
those that wore acquainted with
him at tho time ana when he re
turned do notremomber his name,
but know that it was not Butler.
BecaUBO of his apparent familiar
ity with tho place in his conversa
tional references to it it is thought
that Butler hailed from Shrop
shire, England.
Wliilo workiug upon tho case
Bocho found a photograph of But
ler taken Bomo timo in September.
It was in tho possession of ayoung
women in Sydney, a waitress,
with whom tho murderer had
while taking his meals formed a
passing acquaintance.
From that photograph, cautious
ly borrowed without tho girl know
ing it, copies were made for cir
culation throughout the colonies.
It was by means of one of theso
photographs that Conroy recog
nized tho murdorer as tho mining
I expert.
JNow that the murderer is
captured, tho question to bo do
cided next is: "Will Butler, who
I must lmvo considerable money

Federal Juduo thinks that tho
facts warrant it he will permit tho
captivo to bo held for transporta
tion. Tho result of tho inquiry will
bo telegraphed to Washington
and the extradition permit per

There is little doubt that all
this can be arranged in time for
tho Australian sleuths to tuko
their prisoner by the Monowai,
which is due here on Thursday.
It may be that tho most noted
criminal cvf Jato years may bo in

Cltlzcu Attention.
Those aro days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
havo possessions or other interests
in the Bepublio of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at prosont
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot bo foretold with
certainty. Thoro are those, nlso,
who still fondly cling to tho hope
of a return to tho old ordor of
thiugs, and who cannot be por
suadod otherwise, yet this out
look appears far moro hazy than
that of Annexation ovou to tho
most hopeful disciples of tho
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
tho midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in tho fact that
